Reassuring Call

There is a guy in a pretty well known interstate band who just so happens to be playing the same gigs as my partner during this weekends tours. We hit it off ages ago randomly at a gig and have maintained semi regular contact since. I guess if there were ever a person to instill a sense of jealousy in my partner, he is the one, even though it is totally unneccessary. But it is nice to know he is human.

Tonight I was Myspacing and sent this person a quick email to say I wish I were coming along this weekend. In reply he phoned me and asked if I was okay because I didn't sound so good in my message. We talked for about an hour about band stuff, relationships and general insecurities. In some ways he made me feel pretty good, in otherways, he probably provided the wake up call I sometimes need when the insecurities kick in. He pretty much says it like it is so it might have been just what I needed to hear.

My goal is to now try and take some of the advice on board and see how I go about getting through this weekend painlessly. He suggested I buy a ticket and fly on down for the shows, but I know that is totally unreasonable. Instead, I'll do as he said, and try and get back into old hobbies and have myself an enjoyable boyfriend free weekend. And if that fails, there is always my niece coming to stay on Saturday night for company. I can totally vent to her. Fifteen year olds love to complain so that will work too!
